For demonstration of the single engine flight characteristics following an engine failure shortly after take-off, a series of tests were conducted with cutting the engine at various heights, starting from 50ft down to rotation. A successful land-back was demonstrated in all instances, with a subsequent demonstration of a safe continued flight after an engine failure at 50ft.
All engine failures had docile handling characteristics and required no exceptional piloting skill.
Tested in Graz, Austria (LOWG) with a DA 42 NG test aeroplane. The algae and EADS decals were still present from unrelated, earlier tests.

Flight Test routinely operates its test aeroplanes outside normal operational limits. This is done only after careful consideration of the effect, and implementation of mitigating limitations and procedures.
The manoeuvres does not constitute an endorsement from Diamond Aircraft to operate the aeroplane in a similar manner. Consult the AFM for the appropriate limitations and normal operating procedures:
